Abstract: Over the years there have been numerous attempts to improve the can lid oftentimes found on aluminum beverage can lids. The aims have traditionally been to reduce costs and improve performance. These aims have been accomplished through a variety of means, such as creating different formations within the can lid to reduce the amount of metal used while maintaining performance levels. Here, step portions are utilized between the annular countersink and the center panel of the can lid that cause a curvature of the center panel or to simply provide an angled inside wall. These formations, thus, reduce the amount of metal used while maintaining quality and yielding the desired performance.

Abstract: Après la récolte naturelle, les oeufs ovulés sont soumis à un traitement exogène avec au moins une molécule de transduction de signaux apparaissant naturellement dans l'ovule, par exemple, du peroxyde d'hydrogène et/ou chlorure de calcium. Cela permet d'activer l'ovopéroxydase qui entraîne la formation et le durcissement d'une membrane d'oeuf extracellulaire. Le traitement des oeufs ovulés par une molécule d'apparition également naturelle dans l'ovule et qui sinon est constituée dans le métabolisme normal pour empêcher la polyspermie, a permis de trouver une possibilité de traitement destinée au durcissement des oeufs ovulés parfaitement inoffensif et admissible en droit alimentaire. Le degré de dureté est réglable par la durée du traitement. Les oeufs durcis dont  le durcissement artificiel peut être identifié par une construction spéciale sous un microscope électronique, sont mieux conservés et stockés car le procédé a également une action bactéricide et empêche une efflorescence de tyrosine.
